While a bomb exploded in Police
lines Lahore, Pakistan, Taliban hit neighboring country and attacked on Logar
province’s capital as well.

At least 20 people, including two
civilians, were killed in an attack on a police station in Afghanistan on
Tuesday reportedly.

Taliban suicide bombers were disguised
as police officers, bombed the police station in Pui-i-Alam, which is the
capital of the Logar province Afghanistan.

The Associated Press reports that
the first bomber blew himself up at the police headquarters' gate, and a second
bomber detonated his explosives at a security checkpoint inside the police
compound. Other bombers blew themselves up inside a dining hall where officers
were eating lunch. An additional eight people were wounded in the attack.

“The explosion was so strong that
the metal roof of the dining hall was blown away,” said Abdul Wali Wakil, a
member of the Logar Provincial Council.

A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility
for the attack. While the Taliban have targeted smaller security posts across
Afghanistan in recent months, the attack was the deadliest of its kind.
